Quinoa is a very nutritious grain with high protein. It has high dietary fiber, magnesium and iron. It is a nice substitute for rice. I love the crunchy taste when cooked.
Spring Onion / Vengaya Thaal
Khao Phad Sapparot / Thai Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice
Fried Rice will be cooked at least once a week in a typical Thai home. Usually fried rice combination will be made on the fly with the ingredients available at hand. Also, fried rice is easy to make with the left over rice and perfectly suited for parties of all sort.
Thai Curry paste can be bought in stores and refrigerated, since I didn’t have it, I made the curry paste myself. I also made my own combination of veggies and meat. Instead of Chicken, shrimp can also be used or it can be cooked only with vegetables.
When it’s this easy to make at home, who says no to try it out !!!
